Subject: agent issues in 5.10.2

Message-ID: <87he5nzjnb.fsf@goldfish.local> (raw)

It appears that the list of agentized servers is stored in
News/agent/lib/servers as well as in the variable
gnus-agent-covered-methods in .newsrc.eld.  Why this redundancy?

Also, the actual parameters for the agentized servers
(e.g. nntp-port-number et al), which are set in .gnus, are also stored
in the variable gnus-agent-covered-methods in .newsrc.eld (and
sometimes in lib/servers too).  Again, why this redundancy?

If something is redundant, one day it will get inconsistent.  It
happened to me that after changing a parameter (irrelevant to the
server's identity) of a server in .gnus, it resulted in a new entry
for the same server with the new configuration in lib/servers, in
addition to the previous configuration.

What is the `outgoing counterpart' of the `:plugged t' setting in mail
source specifiers?  I.e. how can Gnus be configured to send mail even
if in unplugged state (my MTA does queuing, so Gnus doesn't have to) ?


regards,
Andras
